Have two cats, brothers. Had them since they were Aprox 5 weeks (we're told they were 8 weeks but they quite clearly weren't but the state of the house we got them from we couldn't have left them)
Anyway. They won't stop scratching my once lovely fabric sofas. They've ripped them to shreds, and also put holes in the carpets by doorways (where they want to go where they're not allowed - nursery)
They're pretty chilled out so I don't think they're doing it through stress I think they just enjoy it little shits
They've had numerous scratching posts but never touched them. They've now moved onto my lovely vintage Chesterfield and I'm not happy.
What can I do? They're almost 2. Indoor cats but big three story house, plenty of room and toys.
Haven't tried feliway but is that the place to start?
Letting them out is not an option.
I'm dying for new sofas but I know they'll just rip them to shreds :(
